The premise is a destitution-to-a-new-life story with a hard edge. Vera's husband puts her out with only an old suitcase and thirty-six dollars, which establishes how thoroughly she has been discarded. The way back in is not another romance in her old world — it is a classified ad from a Mafia family looking for a stepmother. She takes it, and the manor becomes both a refuge and a pressure cooker.
The series runs 110 episodes in English, with the opening arc playable on the official YourChannel player. That opening stretch covers the eviction, the decision to answer the ad, the first days as Mrs. Moretti at the manor, and the slow work of reaching the boy. The running counter-pressure — her ex-husband and his new wife repeatedly trying to destroy her new life — and the long resolution of that conflict are the arc this page leaves to the show.
The emotional center of the opening arc is the child. The Moretti boy is traumatized, and the series is honest that he does not want a stepmother. Vera's job is not to be instantly loved but to slowly earn his trust, one patient gesture at a time. That quiet, difficult bond is the heart of the show, set against the background of a powerful family the audience is told about rather than shown all at once.

Vera, The Traumatized Boy and The Moretti Family carry the opening arc.
Thrown out by her husband with only an old suitcase and thirty-six dollars, Vera answers a Mafia family's ad for a stepmother and becomes Mrs. Moretti. Her opening arc is spent earning the trust of a traumatized little boy while her ex-husband keeps trying to tear her new life down.
The young son of the Mafia family, left wounded and resistant to the new woman in his house. The series builds the relationship between him and Vera slowly, around the work of earning his trust rather than demanding it.
The Mafia family that places the advertisement for a stepmother and into whose manor Vera moves. The show presents the family as the world around her — powerful, guarded, and the reason a single woman's choice to answer the ad carries real risk.
Four editorial picks from the opening stretch — the eviction, the ad, the manor and the boy's guarded trust. No ending spoilers.
Vera's husband throws her out with only an old suitcase and thirty-six dollars. The opening establishes her as a woman with nothing left to lose, which is what makes the unusual ad feel like a choice rather than a downgrade.
A Mafia family is advertising for a stepmother. Vera answers it and becomes Mrs. Moretti — stepping from the street into a manor whose family she barely understands.
The little boy at the manor is traumatized and resistant. The series slows the romance and the family plot down to the patient work of one small, repeated gesture at a time, trying to earn his trust.
Even as Vera builds a life at the manor, her ex-husband and his new wife keep trying to destroy it. The opening arc's tension is between the family she is forming and the man who refuses to leave her alone.
Captured from the opening episodes — not promotional art.
Written from the opening arc. These are editorial impressions, not audience scores.
The show treats the stepmother role with unusual care. Rather than a fairy-tale instant bond, Vera has to earn a wounded child's trust, and the slow pace of that work is where the drama's heart sits — the mafia setting is the frame, not the whole story.
At 110 episodes, the series has room to let the manor life breathe. The ex-husband's ongoing attempts to ruin her act as a slow-burn antagonist pressure rather than a fast revenge set piece.
Best for viewers who like slow-burn mafia-family stories centered on a resilient woman earning a wounded child's trust, with an ex-husband antagonist circling in the background. If you want a fast, high-body-count crime thriller, the opening stretch is more domestic and patient than violent. The long 110-episode run rewards viewers settling in for an evolving family relationship.
